On: Stoicism's appeal to the rich and powerful (2019)

Yeah, it's an especially odd claim because early Christianity was apocalyptic. The Second Coming was imminent. The world would be radically remade.

I think the author is confusing early Christianity with Calvinism.

The author's claims are not generally true of Calvinism, either.

Fair. I guess I was thinking of a certain kind of prosperity theology which people blame on Calvinism, but that isn't fair. That's not how unconditional election actually works.
